Water Ways celebrates the opening of the newest phase of the San Pedro Creek Culture Park.
The group exhibition Water Ways brings together works that make direct reference to water in addition to those that refer symbolically to it. Here, artists picture swimmers, capture moonlit lakes, re-create a shimmering pool, map unknown watercourses, or depict mythic tales associated with oceans or rivers. These works are balanced by others that allude to or characterize water like bridges, boats, borders, depth, fluidity, motion, purification, reflection, source, and its alterable state. Unceasing movement, dreams, the unconscious, mirrored surfaces, among other aspects, play a role in these artists’ works.
Comprised of drawings, installations, paintings, photographs, prints, and sculpture, Water Ways includes works of art that underscore water’s many forms and meanings. Incorporating water enables artists to explore its literal representation—often a challenge in itself— as well as its psychological, symbolic, and cultural significance. The works on view are mainly drawn from the Linda Pace Foundation, Ruby City Collection and offer yet another lens through which its holdings can be interpreted.
